I was thinking lately I'd like to see another 60 minute Iron Man Match, but I had to strain to see who could pull it off well enough to make that long of a match interesting.
I really just got it narrowed down to HBK v.s. Y2J. I was thinking Y2J wins at NOC and then will eventually end up in a big Iron Man Match. i know the chances are slim, but I think these two could pull it off amazingly and I suppose the only possible issue may be HBK being able to last that long with his age, but I think he can do it.
What do you guys think and who do you think can pull of a good Iron Man in today's roster?

i think it would be pretty sweet, jericho and michaels always have great chemistry together in the ring

I know it's not happening anytime soon, but I think Punk and Orton could do well in one.

I think HBk vs Y2J would be the best bet for that 1.... but that type of match is like a match that should only be used during heavyweight title matches in the main event and right now HBK and Y2J r sorta in the mid card and right now all the WWE main event guys r like powerhouse kinda guys besides Edge and that match is at its best when 2 technical type guys r in it

Edge and Michaels.
I know the storylines wouldn't let it happen, but I just think Edge could put on a great Iron Man match.

It would be awesome, I would put Triple H vs someone who can be in the ring 60 minutes.
(I picked HHH since I have seen him twice in an 60 minute iron man match)

Definitely Punk because he has the conditioning for it. I'm going to go out on a limb and say John Cena vs. CM Punk, based on the fact that John Cena is AMAZINGLY conditioned and could pull one off. Maybe Cena vs. Triple H, actually, and they can work it like Rock vs. Triple H instead of Benoit vs. Triple H.

60 Minute Showdown John Morrison Vs CM Punk: ECW Title
Morrison would make the match good, and even though I absolutely cannot stand Punk, they click well. Morrison would win 2-3.

Cena already proved he can go for an hour so I'm sure he could do an iron man match.

I do not mind for 30 minutes iron-man, but one hour way too long, and easy get bored, IMO.

Look at y2j's shape now, he would be blown up about 25 minutes into the match

I think these matches are a thing of the past. Advertising an hour long match to the fans of today is just not likely. Ever since the inception of "jumping off things" and other bumps, actual non-gimmick wrestling isn't all that popular and an iron man match would probably kill a PPV in 2008

Dream: CM Punk vs. HBK
What I would think could be the next.
John Cena vs. Triple H they can both do it.
I for one hate 60 minute ones. 30 minute ones are pretty good. I'm begging WWE too let Jericho and HBK go on next weeks Raw which is also listed as 3 hours for 30 minutes.
Edit: Well I guess the news reporters were wrong it's not listed for 3 hours. I remember a post on here saying it was going too be 3 hours 2 weeks in a row.

MVP's regular matches tend to get repetitive, I don't think he would do well in an iron man. He uses those kicks too much. Chris Jericho probably could have done one before his retirement, and probably still could if he had someone like HBK or Triple H to work, but I don't think he could get through with MVP. I bet MVP could have had a good one with Chris Benoit, and it would have fit well with the feud. I think a 30-minute iron man would have been better than the 2/3 falls. An important aspect of an iron man match is the story or build up, there has to be a reason to see these guys going for an hour, or else it gets boring. There's just no reason to stay interested; what are these guys fighting over? The two guys' styles also need to mesh really well. There's wrestlers who could have good short matches with each other, but couldn't drag it out for an hour. I think these matches are a thing of the past. Advertising an hour long match to the fans of today is just not likely. Ever since the inception of "jumping off things" and other bumps, actual non-gimmick wrestling isn't all that popular and an iron man match would probably kill a PPV in 2008 When was the last time an iron man match was on a PPV anyway? For what it's worth, the rating when up by .5 for the second hour of last year's Raw when Cena and Michaels went for an hour, so it's certainly not turning people away. I don't see many more iron man matches in the future too though, the last one was three years ago, and it was only a 30-minute one. There's only been 5 in WWE history, and they had one every year from 2003 to 2005, so they're probably cutting back. These days, Cena could definitely do one. Edge, maybe, depending on who he's working with. Like Edge vs Batista wouldn't work. People said CM Punk, from what I've seen in WWE I wouldn't know, maybe he's had epic 5-hour classics in the indies, I don't know.
